Dear Friend, I think this book is a nice and exciting book. the genre is anventureus and kids. the setting is in a town in the United Kingdom, were pipi lives by herself in a small cottage. it is also a quite simple book. I think it was a very exciting book because you would never know what Pipi will get up to. I didnt really love the book that much i felt that it was really hard to get into. I dont think i would read another book by that author becuase i didnt really enjoy it that much.
Dear Friend, I think Walking Home With Maire-Claire is the best book! i loved it! it wasnt that difficult book i have ever read, it was 195 pages. the theme of the book is all about friendship. i think it is a good book for maybe yr 6 - yr 9 because it is pretty full on. it was really easy to get into, it is one of those books that it grabs you right into it because of the drama that goes on. i think i will deffenlty read more books from Kirsty Murray, she is an amazing authour! ITS A GREAT BOOK!!!! :)
